What are the responsibilities and job description for the Device Design Engineer position at Transpire Bio?
Job Specific Information
The Device Design Engineer (DDE) is an experienced engineer (7 years) with rich exposure to product design in a Research and Development setting. The DDE has direct experience designing complex mechanical device mechanisms and assemblies for high-volume, automated production. The DDE has experience with a sizeable variety of products that informs creative, yet feasible Design Concepts.
The Device Design Engineer could possibly come from any industry which designs high-volume consumer complex mechanical products, but strong preference is for combination medical devices. The Device Design Engineer has formal Mechanical Engineering education (or equivalent) which includes Materials Science, Stress Analysis, Mechanical Design, Fluid Dynamics and other subjects in a traditional Mechanical Engineering degree program.
The primary customers for the Device Design Engineer include Contract Manufacturing Organizations, internal and external pharmaceutical and primary packaging manufacturers and Transpire Bio commercial leadership.
The DDE has demonstrable experience in:
- Mechanical and Mechanism Design
- 3D CAD Modeling (Solidworks preferred)
- Mechanical 2D Drawings / GD&T / BOMs
- Design for Injection Molding
- Design for Automated Assembly
- Rapid Prototyping (SLA, FDM, light machining)
- Testing / Test Methods / Axial load testing / Drop testing
- Design of Test Equipment
- Formal Mechanical Tolerance Analysis
- Industrial Design (Cosmetic Design)
- Knowledge of various engineering plastics
- Fluidics / Microfluidics / CFD
The Device Design Engineer is able to:
- Interpret and document structured user / commercial inputs
- Convert inputs into engineering requirements
- Develop feasible design architecture concepts to satisfy inputs
- Conduct trade-off studies to down-select concepts
- Generate rapid prototypes of varying fidelity to accelerate feasibility studies
- Refine designs for DFX (manufacturability, reliability, cost, usability, etc.)
- Test designs against requirements and commercial inputs
- Create manufacturable engineering specifications
